Built Engine ?s
I need some estimates from you guys on how much it cost to build a 4.6 2v amd if it is cheaper to buy a whole new engine. I am trying to help with my brothers 4.6 build but don't know if we should buy an entire new built motor or have a shop build the one currently in the car. His car has about 15,000 miles on it if that is useful info.

Nobody have any suggestions?
|
cheaper to buy a crate engine, hands down.
|
Depending on what you do yourself, its almost always cheaper to get a pre built motor. However you don't always get exactly what you are looking for where as if you build it yourself you get to choose everything that goes into it.
|
If you can find a good local machine shop (vs. a major builder) and if you can find great deals on the parts, rebuilding will be cheaper.

Problem I had was finding a machine shop that had experience with mod motors.
I'd get a short block and put the rest together, but make sure the cams are right, degreed is best. |
thanks for the replies. I pretty sure I am going to purchase a shortblock from MPH and then assemble the rest so I avoid labor cost.
|
Thats most likely the best bet. I do not know of many engine builder who know much about mod motors in my area.
